Later, Liudou learned that Qian Aishu's brother-in-law was also his father, named Wei Hua.

Wei Hua's family has four children, one sister and one brother, Wei Hua is the third, and there is a younger brother below. The four of their sisters and brothers were born in the ancestral hall and grew up in the ancestral hall.

Wei Hua's father is the guardian of the ancestral hall - the ancestral hall of Chaojing Mountain. Chaojing Mountain is about more than 30 miles away from Qianjiaao, and it is a holy place for people to burn incense and worship Buddha in this radius of 100 miles. The ancestral hall is sacred, representing the dignity of the gods and the power of the demons. Guarding the ancestral hall actually means a bit of a monk, but this monk can still marry a wife and have children without fasting. But after all, guarding the ancestral hall is still the most inferior profession, which is despised by people.

When his sister was four years old and his brother was two years old, Wei Hua was born - very averagely, his father and his mother produced offspring at a rate of one every two years. This is a very ordinary thing in Qianjiaao.

In addition to not farming, Wei Hua's father is a complete farmer - before he guarded the ancestral hall, Wei Hua's father never farmed, he is a master, that is, a god stick - this makes everyone despise him massively, and even despise his wife and children - although, at a glance, Wei Hua's father has a dark face and a thick forehead vep, but not all people with dark skin are farmers, and the dry forehead is not only farmers. In fact, Wei Hua's father is a counterexample in itself.

Speaking of which, Wei Hua was still young with Liudou, and when Wei Hua's father was still a teacher, he was also from the Qian family. However, since Wei Hua and his father went to guard the ancestral hall, Liudou has not seen Wei Hua again.

The surname Wei is also a big surname in Qianjiaao. In Qianjiaao, there are people with the surname Qian, those with the surname Wei, those with the surname Peng and some other miscellaneous surnames, of which the surnames Qian and Wei account for more than 9 percent. Of course, the population of each surname mentioned here is only for those who are included in the genealogy of each surname of Qianjiaao, and the women who marry and marry and the men who marry women are not counted.

Qianjiaao is at the junction of three counties in a southern province. This is a place where birds do not lay eggs, and the perennial drought is so dry that no grass grows on the grave. A Chunlong Mountain separates Qianjiaao from the opposite Bald Stone Pass (also suspected to be written as Dushi Pass), and it takes less than ten minutes to walk through a narrow valley. Bald Stone is also a place where birds do not lay eggs, and the conditions are even inferior to Qian Jiaao in all aspects. The idlers of Qianjiaao made up a slip of the tongue to ridicule the bald stone pass:

"There are three stoves of bald stones, and you must bring a spoon to carry water; (This means that the bald stone is dry all year round, and the shallow water in the well cannot be beaten with a bucket, but can only be scooped into the bucket one by one.) Bald stone three tripods, rice water 冇 (mao) get (dei) shadow; three villages of bald stone, chaff and covered vegetables; bald stone three (ga) ridge (liang), cock to grab with the dog; (That is, the sarcasm of a man who can't marry a wife) three bald stones, and the rat holes in the temple ......"

The content of this string of smooth words is increasing day by day, and idlers can always find more destructive words to fill.

For the ridicule of the people of Qian Jiaao, the people of Bald Stone Ao also have their counterattack. When the people of Qianjiaao go to the Chunlong Mountain to graze cattle, they will sing in unison on the top of the mountain. At this time, the cattle herders at the foot of the mountain responded to the call: "Your mother is ××, singing a slipper, your mother is ×× swollen!" ...... "They don't have the ability to make up such a good slip of the tongue, maybe the Qian family people stepped on their sore feet, so that they were so angry that they didn't have time to think, and they just wanted to use the most direct and most hateful way to fight back against the Qian family people, or maybe their own inferiority complex was funny, and they could only use anger to cover up the pain in their hearts."

It's just that their counterattack doesn't seem to work, the more angry they get, the more the Qian Jiaao people can get pleasure from it, and the more they sing loudly.

To be honest, the natural conditions of Qianjiaao have little advantage compared with Bald Stone Ao, and the reason why Qianjiaao people have so much superiority is all due to ***. In the *** era, water was diverted from the Xuefeng River to Qianjiaao, and the canal was built to the center of Qianjiaao Village. With this canal, the situation of Qian Jiaao's inability to grow rice due to perennial drought has been changed.

Every year in the spring, when it is time to plow the field and plant the grain, where is it still said that the matter of plowing the field is that after a winter wind and frost, the land has already been as hard as iron stone. It is not that there is not a drop of rain in the whole winter and spring, and sometimes the rain is not small, but this rain is all passers-by, Qianjiaao and Bald Stone Pass are at the foot of the mountain, when the mountains and rivers come, they can wash away everything that can stop them, they hurried along the stone embankment built by the villagers, leaving nothing, everyone can only watch. As soon as the sky cleared, the ground cracked, and a light rain did not even fill the gap.

Only when the water of the Xuefeng River rises enough to flow down the canal to Qianjiaao can the Qianjiaao people spring plough. But even so, the people of Qian Jiaao are already very satisfied. They felt as if the gods were helping them. Although the Bald Stone Pass and the Qianjia Pass are only a few miles apart, due to the barrier of Chunlong Mountain, the water of the Xuefeng River cannot be led to the Bald Stone Pass. The people of Bald Rock Pass also tried to build a canal in that narrow valley. However, although the valley is a valley, it is still several hundred meters higher than the two villages, and it is twisted and curved, and there is occasionally a small protruding stone peak in the middle, which is undulating. Such a valley is not convenient for people to walk, let alone build water canals.

Every time there is a new village chief and a new official, the fire will always burn to this valley, but there is only one result - the people and money will return in vain.

After the water of the Xuefeng River came, Qianjiaao could be ploughed in spring, and the col suddenly became lively. The cuckoo also came, calling "cuckoo, cuckoo......"; Fly over the village and into Chunlong Mountain. The buffalo whined, the ox barked loudly, the bamboo whip that drove the cow was pulled out, and someone at the east end shouted, "Liudou, give your dad to fetch the cow, bring a handful of grain grass over, and ask your dad to come back for dinner." ”

At this time, the people in the col walked with a plop, and the sound was the same as that of a cow. Liudou and Goudan were catching crabs in the stone ditch in the west of the village, and when they heard his mother calling him, he said loudly: "I heard it!" He muttered to the dog, "You see that girl in our family is so annoying, let my father chase her away." Dogan sneered, smiling like a, but he laughed like that, and Liudou liked it. He made Liudou's vanity as a man more magnified.
